FDNY Exam 2000

[john_velooch]

Hey I'm new to this thread but first off I want to say good luck to everyone who took the test. I scored a 102 which puts me in the late 700s. Considering I could be getting paper work pretty soon I was wondering if anyone could help me with one of my concerns. Does anyone know what kind of drug test the fdny administers ? I smoked pot a couple of times about 4 years ago and I know it wouldn't come up in a urine test, but I'm not so sure about a body hair test. If anyone has any information it would be appreciated. Thanks and good luck to everyone .

I took a practice run down there and almost got lost too lol. I had no clue where to turn in and after a while of the winding road i saw the academy entrance. Im from staten island, i wonder how the guys in the academy now do with traveling. It was almost an hour with not much traffic, but i know how that bqe can get in the morning, it must be rough

Don't worry, after the academy you'll never have to leave the island again........

I'm on SI too. If we both get in maybe we can car pool.

urine test - you'll be fine. Just remain clean it's not worth it!

This IS a good idea. For anyone who is coming from far away, car pooling will save you a lot of money. Once you're settled into Companies and Squads you'll be able to figure this all out. Plan on driving yourself for the first week though while this is figured out

Thanks ! Yeah I don't plan on doing it ever again, what a mistake and boy do I regret it haha. Thanks again

Anyone ever get jammed up on pd processing? Wondering if/what hurdles that might present going forward w fd

Many people make choices not realizing the ramifications it could have later on in life. Which is part of life.

You'll get opportunity to set up carpools in the early days if you don't have one set up right away. But it's a good idea to do a test run early on a weekday to gauge what traffic will be like.

Lol I'm guessing si guys usually stay here?

From what I've heard, it's the complaints filed that bog a lot of the PD guys down.

I remember someone saying that they were going to bring their medical clearance form to the CPAT informative session. Is this required or suggested? I don't really see there being an opportunity to hand that in. Anyone who went to a meeting already have any info on this? I'm going to the 8am Saturday

I usually train every morning in Prospect Park if anyone wants company.

Does anyone know if you have to disclose or does investigations already know if you have applied before to other city jobs such as PD?

If so, does a DQ from PD affect your employment on FD or does a previous PD psychological influence the FDNY's decision on hiring you.

[pericnyc]

I don't know that fd concerns itself with pd background or if they are in contact- if you are fingerprinted at pd for processing it comes up that you applied for other agencies

[Spiderneck30]

Do we have to bring anything with us?

Just your photo ID and the medical clearance form. If you dont have the medical clearance form yet then thats ok. You just have to bring the form with you the day you return for the actual training session. So really, just your ID.

If there aren't that many EMTs still on 2500 and God-willing the PHs get held up/scattered, I think guys in the 2000's should stay vigilant for getting something this summer. Keep getting more fit. And if you're going to take a p*ss or have a drink, make sure it's done INDOORS.

Scattered is not good enough, they would still be taking up spots.

Thank you!

Boys don't forget that most of the guys dropped from proby school WILL get recycled again for the summer class.

So most who dropped out get a second chaince at the academy?

Thats one of the reasons I dropped out of PD ivestigation processing. I was aafraid DQ would follow me to FD. I talked to several freinds of friends in that department and they told me they have never heard of it being a problem and I was being a paranoid. Not sure if thats what you were talking about.
